Dune: Part Two (2023)

@Leech & Rob.

You remember that fan-edt of the original Dune movie that we talked about some time ago?

What was it called? Spicediver's version, I think?

Thank you 👆

I think that's the version I watched a few years ago because my friend suggested it.

Shit, I haven't seen the actual Lynch edit in probably 20+ years.

I've not watched Spice Diver, I just might this week.

Fuck it, I just re-watched Part 1 again in preparation.

My body is ready. Part 2 is gonna rock.

F*ck, it's great.

It's the first time I've been genuinely impressed with and enjoyed IMAX, the nuance with the sound effects and music. And the visuals here are of course spectacular. Incredibly well done. Denis is a cinema god and makes it seem so effortless. God. Damn.

Part One truly is the appetizer and Part Two is the main course.

Amazing film that won't be topped this year. Disney Star Wars is bargin bin trash compared to this.

Oh yeah, in fact that is how I described it to my wife after it was over: it's like Star Wars, but not for kids and written better. So basically like Star Wars, but doesn't suck.

The only movie this year that is likely to even come close to this is Furiosa.

The lasguns shit all over SW blasters. Agreed about Furiosa. I expect it to be good considering what it's following.

Lasguns are problematic, Villeneuve seems to want to ignore the interactions between them and shields.

Clearly hasn't watched The Clone Wars

also Star Wars has something for everyone, Its not solely just for kids.

Leech's whole thing is hating on popular stuff.

He will end up hating Dune a few years from now on, too.

Yeah..when they add something similar to the Porgs to the Dune universe.

I'll hate on whatever I want if it sucks, thank you very much. And lately Star Wars has sucked.

I honestly didn't hate the recent sequel trilogy as much as some, just as mindless sci-fi space opera entertainment. Because I'm at the point that the lore doesn't really matter to me because they haven't been very consistent with it. But it's clear they haven't thought it out very well.

Dune just OWNED Star Wars thanks to the masterful touch of Denis Villeneuve.

To say that Denis Villeneuve is better than JJ Abrams is the understatement of the century.

You felt the same about Star Wars before Sequel Trilogy, though.

Your posts regarding SW in the Dune threads would've been exactly the same, even if ST had never been made 😛

If the sequel of Dune does well, you'll lose interest soon. That's how you roll. Riddick, Underworld, those are your champions 😂

Nah, I've always been a more casual fan of Star Wars. I enjoyed the prequels because at least they were a more singular vision. But now Disney has corporatized it and lost any sort of vision other than $$.

Another observation about Dune Part Two is I felt like they really pushed the limits of the PG-13 rating. I had no problem showing my 6 year old son Part One, but I may have to make him wait a year or two more to see Part Two.

Man, I can't wait to see it again. It's a 10/10. Excited to see if it even gets to 11/10 with repeat viewings. Especially sitting and watching One and Two back-to-back.

You think the lasguns vs. shields controversial subject will be brought up or ignored again?

Perhaps it's a detail, but it'd be nice if they addressed it somehow.

Willem Dafoe Christ is my champion. 😎

Dafoe is without equal, that I agree with 👆
